If you’ve ever built utility tools, you know the challenge is not the math — it’s the experience. Recently, I built a Feet to Meters converter for UtilityEra. On the surface, it looks like a tiny feature: take a value in feet, multiply it by 0.3048, and show the result in meters. But I wanted the page to be more than a bare calculator.
